WOMEN AT AUCTIONS.
What an old ST. Louis Auctioneer
Has Found Out.

What an old st. Louis Auctioneer
Has Found Out.
IF woman has weakness, remarked
an old auctioneer yesterday, cit is for
attending auction sales of household
furniture. Advertise a sale of furniture
in some dwelling house, and as sure as
life you will see it crowded with young,
old, and middle aged women on the
day of the sale. Such an announce.
meEt will bring them out in all kinds
OF weather, and to see them swarming
about the house after the auctioneer
would be rare sight to people unused
to such things. They will enter the
house an hour or to before the time set
for the auction, provided they can get
in, and spend the time examining every
article of furaiture in the house, from
celler to roof, not even forgetting the
pots or pans and other culinary appur-
tenances. They will examine the pic
lures on the wall. if there should be
any, criticise their artistic merit, and
turn up their noses when they learn
that they have been lauding cheap cro-
mos unto the skies under the mistaken
impression that they were masterpiece
es. When the auctioneer mounts a
BILE or chair to open the ball, which Is
usually done by rapping his cane, the
ladies rush toward him from all sec
tions of the building. They are look
ing for bargains and propose to get
them. With this determination in mind
they examine or size up what they want,
decide what they are going to pay for
il, and then wait until the auctioneer
reaches it. If it should be a piece of
Brussels carpet in good condition there
is bound to be some spirited bidding,
as so per cent. of the women attend the
auctions ostensbiy to buy carpets.
Five or six or maybe adozen ladies will
be watching a carpet and waiting to
get it cheap, and then get mad when
they see others determined 10 get the
same article. When this is the case
the auctioneer feels in good humor,
as he is bound to get good price for it
when the bidding becomes lively. Brio
a-brac for parlor ornamentationi is some
thing else sought for at every sale
Ane young lauleS Dlu on GHese OIRS-
ments and generally pay good price,
although they strike bargains at times.
1t is amusing to attend an auction
where there is spirited bidding. The
ladies are bound to become excited and
many of them determined, cost what it
may, to get the article they are seek
ing. Mrs. b. will bid so cents a yard
for piece of carpet, whereupon Mrs.
ID. will 90 her better at 55 Mrs. B.
will then shake her glove at Mrs. D.,
and in a defiant manner offer 60, and
so on until they become mad enough
to bite each other. Of course, the auc-
tioneer likes this rivalry, because it is
always productive of good prices and
high commission. The fun commences
when a Misunderstanding arises be-
tween two fair bidders. The auction
eer may not hear one of them bid and
knock down the article to the other
bidder, and the result is matter any
thing but pleasant to the luckless sell
Ter. Let man go to an auction sale
of household furniture and I'll warrant
that he will learn something new about
the fair sex. - Missouri Republican.
